The aim of this review is to summarize the incidence, prevalence, trend in mortality, and general prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) and a related condition, acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although CHD mortality has gradually declined over the last decades in western countries, this condition still causes about one-third of all deaths in people older than 35 years. This evidence, along with the fact that mortality from CHD is expected to continue increasing in developing countries, illustrates the need for implementing effective primary prevention approaches worldwide and identifying risk groups and areas for possible improvement.

Comparisons among countries can help to identify opportunities for the reduction of inequalities in health. We compared the magnitude of inequalities in mortality and self-assessed health among 22 countries in all parts of Europe.

Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health in 22 European Countries

Why read this book? Read it if you are interested–professionally or otherwise– in the current state of society and the effects this has on our health. And in this case read it even if the complexities of epidemiological research, of anthropology, of social psychology, economics, history or politics are not your home-ground: for though the book draws on all these areas it can and should be read from cover to cover. 

Wilkinson's thesis concerns the relationship between relative income and mortality. He shows this relationship to hold very strongly within a given society or social grouping, ie it is the distribution of income rather than its absolute level which seems the more important, particularly so in developed countries. Wilkinson shows early on how relative deprivation becomes a major determinant of health once a society has passed through the so-called “epidemiological transition”–where predominantly infectious causes of death give way to predominantly degenerative causes (cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke etc), and where …

Objectives To investigate the impact of gender on multimorbidity in northern Iran. Design A cross-sectional analysis of the Golestan cohort data. Setting Golestan Province, Iran. Study population 49 946 residents (age 40–75 years) of Golestan Province, Iran. Main outcome measures Researchers collected data related to multimorbidity, defined as co-existence of two or more chronic diseases in an individual, at the beginning of a representative cohort study which recruited its participants from 2004 to 2008. The researchers utilised simple and multiple Poisson regression models with robust variances to examine the simultaneous effects of multiple factors. Results Women had a 25.0% prevalence of multimorbidity, whereas men had a 13.4% prevalence (p Conclusion Prevention and control of multimorbidity requires health promotion programmes to increase public awareness about the modifiable risk factors, particularly among women.

Plasticity of Health

Unser Gesundheitszustand bestimmt unser Leben. Der menschliche Organismus ist bis zu einem bestimmten Grad in der Lage, sich zu regenerieren und anzupassen als Reaktion auf sich verandernde Um weltbedingungen. Die Gesundheit und ihre Faktoren adaptieren sich in einem dynamischen Prozess an eine sich kontinuierliche wandelnde Umgebung. Der Zustand der Gesundheit und die Gesundheitsforderung sind multidimensionale Prozesse. Diese Vorgange werden von verschiedenen Lebensweisen, medizinischer Versorgung, mentalen Interaktionen (Ressourcen und Resilienz), sozialem Status, offen tlichen Interventionen, globalen Entwicklungen und Krisen sowie durch das ausere Umfeld/Setting beein flusst. Eine uberlieferte Aussage von Buddha lautet, dass „ohne Gesundheit Leben nicht Leben sei; es ware nur ein Status von Tragheit und Leiden - ein Ebenbild des Todes“. Das 21. Jahrhundert ermoglicht scheinbar standig verbesserte Lebensbedingungen, jedoch: der Schein trugt: obwohl und aber gerade auch weil sich unsere Lebenserwartung positiv andert, werden chronische Erkrankungen immer haufiger, aber auch die Zahl der nicht ubertragbaren Erkrankungen nimmt trotz einer besseren (und teureren) medizinischen Versorgung zu (z. B. Diabetes mellitus). Deswegen ist es unabdingbar, die Interaktionen zu verstehen, um einen optimalen Gesundheitsstatus trotz sozialer Un terschiede, finanzieller Krisen, politischer Ideologien und Kriege zu erreichen. Die integrierte Sichtweise von Salutogenese, Pathogenese sowie umweltwissenschaftlichen und so zialen Faktoren kann die Gesundheit der Bevolkerung fordern und Krankheiten minimieren. Es ist die Herausforderung der heutigen Gesellschaft einen Gener ationsplan zu erstellen, um die menschliche Gesund heit zu bewahren und den Gesundheitsstatus positiv weiter zu entwickeln.
